Hi

I have a 95 ES300 that just had 2 speed sensors replaced after the ABS light came on. Now the light is out but when ever I go to stop right before the car stops about 5 mph or less I feel the the ABS system kick in. Any one else very had this problem and how was it fixed? My garage says it will work it self out, but I not so sure.

 

Test all four ABS sensors.

 

Thanks I had them all tested it shows them all working & fine, still have the problem. Any other suggestions? My garage is at a loss as what to do as the ABS light isn't on, tired of having it in the garage all the time the ABS system going on right before I stop the car is annoying, besides not sure if it's messing up my brakes. Should I just pull the fuse on the ABS system and forget it?

 

Does your brake feel a little "soft or spongy", as a little air has entered the system...or the pump.
This makes the brakes act erratic or feel as they're "grabbing" prematurely. Bleeding the brake system is one of the few tasks I would recommend as a Toyota or Lexus dealer operation.. Their diagnostic computer is needed to access the ABS computer, thus controlling the state of the control valves in the pump. This allows the pump to be set to various operating modes, valves on or off, allowing complete purging of all air. This is my understanding of the ABS servicing.

 

No there not soft or spongy at all it stops real good just the abs issue. I rather not take it to a dealer as the cost $$ to just look at it is more than I want to spend at this point.
